Wool & Silk Isfahan Persian Rug 110 × 170 cm, hand-knotted

Overview

This Isfahan comes from Iran and measures 110 × 170 cm. That is roughly 1.87 m² of floor, about 3.6' × 5.6'. Isfahan has stood for exceptionally fine knotting for centuries.

What it is made of

Construction: 100% Schurwolle mit Seide in the pile over a 100% silk foundation. Construction method: hand-knotted.

Format and use

The rug is rectangular. A format for a smaller room, or the area directly in front of a sofa.

Knot density and quality

The stated knot density is 800,000–899,999 knots/m². Very fine knotting of this kind takes many times the working hours and shows correspondingly precise pattern work.

How it reads

It is catalogued under red and orange. Depending on the light and the direction you look from, the surface reads lighter or darker — a property of every handmade rug.
